Co-captain Wilma Gale was the only girl representing the senior class. She did some wonderful guard- ing and will be a great loss to the team next year.

Other girls participating were Co-captain Lorraine, Duford, Irene Huggins, Janet Sanderson, Marilyn Good, Marie Rose Lavertu, Anne Far- num, Odelva Lefebvre, Virginia Sev- erance, Shirley Beal, and Patricia Yeaton. Manager was Jeanne Levesque and Assistant Manager was Virginia Crafts. All of the girls showed greatim- provement throughout the season, through diligent practice and Miss Thomas' able coaching. Our games were enlivened by the cheering section under the leader- ship of William VanderHagean, Bar- bara MacLean, and Glorie Henry.

A. went down to a 43-50 loss because of a last-period drive by the nRed and Whiten from Derry. At half time Pinkerton led 18-173 at the end of the third quarter, the score was 29-26.
